뜻
Something is being renovated or reorganized.
문화적 배경
The Dutch are famous for their constant urban planning. Because the country is so small and densely populated, infrastructure is constantly being 'op de schop' to optimize space. The phrase is a favorite of Dutch politicians to show they are taking 'decisive action.' It sounds more active and 'hands-on' than simply saying 'we are changing the law.' Many Dutch people take great pride in their gardens. 'De tuin op de schop nemen' is a common spring activity, reflecting a cultural value of cleanliness and order. Even though 'op de schop gaan' sounds radical, in the Netherlands, it usually only happens after a long period of consensus-seeking (polderen).
Use with 'zijn'
When talking about the past, always use 'is op de schop gegaan', never 'heeft'.
Not for people
Never say 'Hij gaat op de schop' unless you are a surgeon or a bully!

The 'Schop' sound
Practice the 'sch' sound carefully; it's the key to sounding Dutch.
